Mobile RFID reader

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a mobile Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader: including a plate panel for recognition of RFID tag information configured to include an antenna and a recognition surface; a grip configured such that the central axis of thereof is included in a plane to which the plate panel for the recognition of RFID tag information belongs and the grip is substantially parallel to the height direction of the plate panel for recognition of RFID tag information and is spaced apart from the plate panel for recognition of RFID tag information; and a coupling portion configured such that the coupling portion is substantially parallel to the horizontal direction of the recognition surface of the plate panel for recognition of RFID tag information and both ends of the coupling portion are coupled to the plate panel for recognition of RFID tag information and the grip, respectively.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a mobile Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, and more particularly to a mobile RFID reader which can be held by the hand and manipulated during movement in real time, which can be manipulated during rest or movement without being released, and which enables a wide antenna to be disposed therein, thereby efficiently improving signal recognition rate.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Information recognition technology using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) requires an RFID tag and an RFID reader.[0003]An RFID tag includes an RFID chip. Required information is recorded on the RFID chip, and the RFID tag transmits the information to an RFID reader via an antenna. Generally, the information stored on the RFID chip is used to identify an object attached to the RFID tag. An RFID system is different from a barcode system in that the RFID system uses radio waves instead of light.[0004]Information recognition technology using RFID has the...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a mobile RFID reader that can be easily held and used during movement. It has a high-reliability and can be securely manipulated without being released. The invention also has a large-area antenna that can recognize RFID information, increasing the recognition rate. The invention is economically manufacturable and has few failures, errors, and high durability.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a limitation to an increase in output, and it cannot be expected that the recognition distance is extended or the recognition rate is improved even when the output is increased.

However, in this case, it is difficult to ensure the large area of the antenna because the portability of the mobile RFID reader must be taken into account.

Although Patent Document 2 discloses a technology of increasing recognition rate by varying the angle of the antenna formed in the body of the RFID reader, the apparatus of this technology cannot be easily moved in the state of being held by the hand, the manipulation of the apparatus is inconvenient, and the movement and carrying of the apparatus is inconvenient.

Furthermore, the apparatus is complex in terms of structure, and has low manufacturing efficiency.

Additionally, this technology does not present the combination of a terminal device that outputs recognized information, and thus the apparatus has a structure that is inconvenient for real-time use during movement.

Meanwhile, examples of the structures of RFID readers that have simplified structures and are easy to move and carry are disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2008-0056327 (Patent Document 3) entitled “Portable Barcode Reader” and Korean Patent Application Publication Nos. 10-2008-0056328 and 10-2008-0056329 entitled “RFID Reader on which Mobile Terminal is Mountable.” However, these technologies have a limitation to the ensuring of a stable signal recognition rate.
